The Girl's Own Paper/Girl's Own Annual, Vol. 2, 1882.  Founded in 1880, The Girl's Own Paper was a leading weekly paper for "women and girls" published by Leisure House in London.  The annual volumes were compiled every September.  Each annual is a treasure trove of articles on Victorian fashion, cooking, arts and crafts, etiquette, household tips, history, music and more.  The paper also took a remarkably progressive view of the growing movement for jobs and higher education for women.
